Not my first post for this bike

I took a few pounds out of my monocog and I thought I would share it with you. After the first ride, I'm pretty happy. I recently got my self a Easton Haven as a wider front wheel that seems to work well with the Wierwolf 2.55. The handle bar was changed out for a shorter one from my old trek. I miss the beefiness and extra 1.5 inches of the old one when I get to the steepest climbs other then that it doesn't bother me and the 100+ grams I saved seems worth it. Finally, ESI makes a yellow version of their grips! The rear wheel has a White Ind hub, a cheap BMX cog, thicker Shimano rotor, and the WTB i23 rim. The Geax saguaro tire is something I just had sitting around and I might as well try something other then the original ExiWolf. And wow that Geax is loud. It sounds like I'm bombing down streets when I am only doing 20mph on the trail. To round it all out I put a new e13 ring and gold chain to go with it. On my first ride tonight I took a Strava time, nevermind the cold I'm dealing with.

Nice upgrades! Especially like the discs. And I "doo" like the color as well.

There are two of us on our trails that rock D680s. I've got a 2012 and another Dude has a 2011. Trying to talk the Trek Fuel guy to switch over to the 29er side and get the 2013 carbon 680. You are right. Not many Red heads out there! (And even fewer with more than one gear)

Haha thanks. I had recently sold my old '04 Monocog and then my friend mentioned he was selling his doo doo brown Monocog so I had to jump on it. I hope Redline is selling well because if anything ever happens to this Monocog I'd want to make sure I can nab another in the future.

There is a LOT of Redline Monocog love out there. They will be making them for a while longer I'd bet.
If I ever had the urge to push a singlespeed mountain bike I would have to seriously consider the Monocog.
